Why Should You Hire Professional Movers for Your Next Move?

Why Should You Hire Professional Movers for Your Next Move?

Moving Day...

When the day finally comes to move all of those boxes and belongings that you’ve been carefully organizing, and packing away, you want to feel comfortable and confident that all of your things will make it from point A to point B in one piece. It’s not common that one just happens to have all the right tools for their moving day lying around, or the expertise on how to execute their move as smoothly as possible. This is where hiring a professional can save the day!

Professional Movers Come Prepared

Hiring professional movers can bring peace of mind to you and yours knowing that they have seen it all from small moves across the street, to big moves across cities!

Here are some of the benefits that hiring professionals will bring to the table...

Experience and Know-How

On your moving day, you are going to have hard-to-move items. For the average Jane/Joe this can make moving day a hassle. From lightweight, fragile items like fine china and mirrors, to heavy and oddly shaped objects like furniture and appliances, everything will be taken care of. Hiring professional movers with the right experience and equipment will get the job done safely and in a timely manner!

Speed and Efficiency of Professional Movers

Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

Professional movers know how to maximize the amount of space they have, while leaving the least amount of room for things to shift while on the road. Any good moving company will have a standard procedure for every step of the way. Professional movers handle everything from safely stacking boxes while loading the trucks to transporting and unloading your belongings. With a full crew dedicated to keeping your items safe, they are committed to meeting all deadlines and time restrictions.

Ready to Handle the Heavy Lifting

Not everyone is physically able to move themselves, and that’s ok! Moving can be very physically demanding, not to mention dangerous if done improperly. Mustering the energy to move boxes up and down, back and forth, in the middle of your already busy schedule is often something not looked forward to.

Luckily professional movers have been trained to actively incorporate proper lifting techniques, safe handling procedures, and come ready to, quite literally, handle the heavy lifting! Having movers prepared like this minimizes the risk of injury or damages to your property during your moving day.

Safety and Security of Your Belongings

Safety and security of your belongings are priority #1 when working with professional movers. Being a professional mover goes much further than just how to lift heavy things, it extends to skills such as proper ways to pack, wrap, and secure any items they may come across during different jobs, or how to maneuver those awkward sized/shaped items through stairwells and doors without causing any damages to anyone's property.

Most moving companies will also include basic liability coverage for added peace of mind. Some companies allow you to acquire additional insurance for your high-value, important items that you would rather not take any risks on. 

Is Hiring Movers Cost Effective?

Contrary to popular belief, there is potential for money to be saved in hiring a moving company versus a do-it-yourself move! When planning, many people often forget to factor in the unexpected costs that can sneak up on you...

  • Taking the time away from work
  • Purchasing all of the proper packing materials
  • Renting the right equipment for the job
  • Renting the right size of vehicle for transport
  • Fuel for the moving vehicle

These are all things that can add up fast and take you by surprise!

On top of all of this, not being properly prepared or equipped at the cost of trying to save money will only increase the chances of causing damage to your property, or even worse, sustaining an injury to yourself or others. If unlucky, these kinds of unforeseen circumstances can end up costing you even more than the cost of hiring professionals in the first place.

Additionally, by doing such research you can find plenty of helpful tips to follow when using a moving company. Having your moving checklist and all of your things packed, organized and ready to send out are examples of things you can do to substantially help cut down on billable hours, in-turn saving you money on your moving day!

Making Sure You Find the Right Movers for You

When looking to hire a moving company you will most likely be met with an overwhelming amount of different options. The best place to start is asking friends or family if they have any experience with local moving companies, from there use resources such as reviews from sites like the Better Business Bureau. Try to get quotes from a few different companies so that you can compare rates and services provided from each, then ask any remaining questions you might have to clear up any concerns before making your final decision!
